Gate of Apocalypse

“Uncle Blue Sea, are you awake? ”

Blue Sea slowly opened his eyes from the spinning noise of the helicopter wing, raised his head and saw Jojo sitting opposite him, Chen Xiaolian sitting on the driver's seat with his back facing him.

“Is this…? ”

Blue Sea sat up and looked around for a moment.

“Loot. We've taken out all the pursuits. We'll just have to wait for Aunt Yun to join us.” Chen Xiaojie replied without answering back.

Blue Sea nodded, didn't answer, just looked a little odd.

“What's the matter?” Jojo looked at the Blue Sea somewhat nervously.

“No, nothing.” Blue Sea looked up and smiled at Jojo: “Finally got you out of there. You... look just like old Joe. ”

“You've seen me before, in Zero City.” Jojo looked carefully at the Blue Sea: “Although he knew the players in the game, whether they were players, awakeners, vulnerabilities, every next copy rolled on the tip of the knife. I just didn't expect that an expert like you would...”

“Don't you know what happened yet?” Blue Sea looks at Jojo: “Well, then, you died earlier than I did. ”

“What happened...?” Qiao Qiao stunned and smiled bitterly at Blue Sea's face, pointing to Chen Xiao Liang: “I am no longer an awakener. When they were refreshed into ordinary people, they had no memory of anything. I listened to what he told me before. ”

“What exactly happened, little face?” Jojo had a feeling that something terrible must have happened in the period after his death.

“Let's go down first.” Chen Xiaolei looked down at the helicopter, a snowflake, and had reached the previously agreed copy area.

The helicopter slowly landed and rolled a snow flake on the ground.

Chen Xiaocai jumped off the plane, opened the rear hatch door, reached out to help the Blue Sea, but was rejected by the Blue Sea swing, and jumped off himself.

This is a snowy field with little ups and downs, roughly flat, infinitely large cedar trees, each surrounded by several people, covering the sky and the sun, except for the huge spacing between the cedars, each of which is dozens of meters apart from each other.

At the end of the world, there would have been no weather, but somehow this replica area had been endlessly windy with snowflakes blowing on the faces of the three, like a knife cut.

“We can't stay under 30 degrees below zero.” Jojo frowned and looked around: “I am not affected by low temperatures after particling, but this skill is not unlimited to start. Uncle Blue Sea's body also..."

“I'm fine.” The Blue Sea shook its head, interrupting Jojo: “The parasite armor was wrapped outside my skin, and I'm not cold right now. It's just... Chen Xiaoliang is afraid to support it. But the question is… what do we do now? ”

Jojo frowned: "Can't we stay in the helicopter? ”

“No." Chen Xiaolian shook his head decisively: “The noise after the helicopter started the engine was too loud, and the target was too obvious. If there are loopholes in other covenants to follow, they are too easy to spot. We continue deep into the snow fields. ”

“So... the companion you're talking about, Zhao Yun's, can't you find us?” Jojo doesn't understand.

“Nothing gets in the way.” Chen Xiaocai smiled: “She gave me a way to get in touch. What do you say, Mr. Blue Sea? ”

“Go inside.” The Blue Sea does not hesitate to agree with Chen Xiaocai: “Although it is not known exactly what area this copy is, looking at the topography should be North America or Siberia, it may be possible to find somewhere to hide. Even just a cabin. ”

“Okay.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded, restocking the helicopter into the storage ring, and the three walked towards the depths of the snow field.

The further you go in, the more intense the wind is, and the whistle keeps coming towards the ears of the three of you, with a white front with a visibility of no more than fifty meters.

“Shall we turn around? This terrain environment…” Qiaoqiao glanced hard at Chen Xiao Liang with a grip on his palm: “I walked that long and saw nothing but these trees. ”

“Let's go again. If we still don't find anything, we'll release the helicopter.” Chen Xiaolian pulled Jojo's hand and warmed her up at her own temperature: “Would you like to particulate first? ”

“No, I can hang on a little longer.” Jo Jo shook his head gently, wrapped the robe tighter, leaned half against Chen Xiaolian's body, and walked deeply and shallowly.

The snow builds up on the ground almost to the thighs of three people, and although the body has been strengthened to varying degrees, trekking in this environment is still somewhat strenuous.

“Look!” Jojo suddenly pulled his hand out of Chen Xiao's palm, pointing at the three of them, as Chen Xiao decided to give up and move on, intending to release a helicopter to shield the snow from the wind: “What is that! ”

Covered by the snow and wind, it is rare to see a blurred shadow in front that really looks like a cabin shape.

The three of them rushed to the shadow. When I approached him, I saw a wooden cabin standing in front of me, leaning next to a giant cedar.

The cabin is not quite large, that is, it covers more than twenty square feet of land, has a steep spike, can't see the color clearly under the snow, only one wooden door, no windows.

Chen Xiaoliang and Blue Sea looked at each other and nodded. There are no abnormalities displayed on the life detector.

When Blue Sea went forward, he carefully pushed open the door, then turned around and shook Chen Xiaolian's thumb, indicating that there was no problem.

Chen Xiaoliang and Jojo quickly walked forward, rushed into the cabin, shut the door, and the wind was blocked out of the door.

The floors and walls of the house were covered with animal hides and patterned patterns, not knowing exactly what the animals were. The opposite wall is a fireplace with a pile of wood chopping and an axe next to it.

A long rope hangs from left to right under the roof on one side, and dozens of dried meat hang from the long rope, not knowing what the meat is. On the other wall, hang several rough hunting bows.

The center of the house is a huge tree stump that is cut very smoothly and has been slightly blackened by oil stains and pyrotechnics, but is still smooth and appears to be used as a table. Next to the big tree pile, there are a few small tree piles, simply polished and flattened, which is the stool.

At the corner of the house, there are several heavy blankets stacked.

“Looks like a hunter's home.” The blue sea weighed up and down, walked up to the fireplace and raised the fire. The red flame jumped and the warmth grew in the cabin.

“It's finally warm.” Jojo carried the thick blanket around the corner, divided it between Chen Xiaoliang and Blue Sea, and wrapped it tightly around himself, sitting next to the fireplace.

“Well, now... we're supposed to be safe.” Jojo reached out to Chen Xiaolian and smiled for a moment.

“Just a moment.” Chen Xiaolian nodded and took the long gun from Zhao Yun's storage ring and handed it to Blue Sea: “Mr. Blue Sea, please. ”

Blue Sea picked up the long gun and held his hands tight, crossing his chest.

Not too lucky this time, Chen Xiaoliang cut five swords in a row before cutting off the long gun, then turned into a group of silver rays gradually diluted and dissipated into the air.

“Well, Zhao Yun should be joining us soon.” Chen Xiaoqiao sat next to Jojo and held her hand: “A lot did happen after you died. One of the most important is the destruction of the Zero City. ”

“What?!” Joe Joe stared wide-eyed and stared unbelievably at Chen Xiaocai: “Zero City? How is that possible? ”

“Nothing is impossible. Zero City is bigger, stronger, more secret, and eventually it will be discovered by the system. Emergency task notifications were issued, bringing together virtually all awakeners and players.” Chen Xiaocai smiled bitterly: “Mr. Lanhai, was killed at that time. ”

He hesitated for a moment to tell Jojo why the Zero City entrance was out of control, but ultimately did not say it.

“What about my father? He... is he all right?” Qiao Qiao squeezed Chen Xiaolian's hand tightly and asked quickly.

“He's all right. He wasn't in Zero City when it happened.” Chen Xiaocai's words reassured Jojo a little, and continued to listen to him: "Zero City, though destroyed, still escaped some of its awakeners. It's just that they're hiding out and no longer have any connection to the outside world. I think after losing contact with the rest of the team at Knife Mountain Fire, your father must have realized something big had happened, but he didn't know what was going on. ”

“So... is he safe?” Jojo immediately became acutely aware of the heart of the problem: “As a secular agent of the Knife Mountain Fire, he held the wealth of the entire team. Other awakeners… will they do something to Zero City once they know it has changed? ”

Chen Xiaocai thought about it and shook his head with a bitter smile: “I don't know what kind of judgment has been made in the world of awakeners about the disappearance of Zero City. But I think that the conclusion of the destruction of Zero City should not be reached very soon. And your father, who already had a guardian on the team, should be safe for now. ”

“That's good.” Joe Joseon sighed: “Everyone else on the team... is all right? ”

“It's all good.” Chen Xiaocai smiled: “It's just Roddy he...”

“Rhodey? What's wrong with him? ”

“I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.” Chen Xiaocai sighed: “The Nicole he missed was resurrected as a loophole. It's just that I have a hunch that this kid... may not have the chance to catch her. ”

“He's your best friend, aren't you going to help him?” Jojo smiled and glanced at Chen Xiaolian.

“Help what? If it's between a man and a woman, it'll take two wishes. Can I help you with that?” Chen Xiaocai smiled: “When I was with you, did you rely on Roddy for help? ”

“Yes.” Jojo laughed, then glanced over at the blue sea beside him and saw him frowning and leaning against the corner of the wall.

“Uncle Blue Sea, what's wrong with you? Not fully recovered?” Jojo asked carefully.

Joe Jolian shouted twice before waking the Blue Sea out of contemplation and nodded: “It seems to be a powerful attack with parasitic armor that, when consumed too much, will enter a state of disintegration. Although it has some resilience in itself, it is still best to replenish a point of energy from the outside. ”
